RE: Army Commanders - Limit Movablity

FYI
&nbsp;
It was a takeoff on "Elvis is everywhere " by Mojo Nixon.&nbsp; Thought it was appropriate at the time.

RE: Humbolt and Army Commanders

Orabera,
&nbsp;
In this game,like Elvis, Lee is everywhere.&nbsp; that, and the Unions lack of initiative in ver 3,are among the problems I still have with the game.

Yes I understand your concerns.&nbsp;I wasnt expecting that I'd get the weather line added, but thought I'd voice my concerns.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have read up on the history too.&nbsp; My impression was that the designers ( you guys ? ),were treating the South as a European latitude ...

<t> Folks,<br/>

I like most of the changes made in this patch.<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I agree with the Lee Rule.&nbsp; I would have subtracted PPs from the Rebels if Lee left the east.&nbsp; And to those critiics that say he should move anywhere, still disagree strongly.&nbsp ...

I agree that at this point it wouldnt be do able.&nbsp; We were just thinking that with all the rest of the initialtive related&nbsp;flow/vibe of the game&nbsp;, that seems to be the one thing that would have made sense, that was'nt added.<br/>

Initiative Revisited

Folks,

A friend asked when I ws decribing the game why there is no overall initiative to see who goes first in a turn. I realize that it probably couldnt be addedd at this point of things, but I am curious, was this considered?

RE: Is it just me (a different post to my one in the General Forum :-) )

<t> Folks,<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I have already laid out most of my problems with the game earlier.&nbsp; I still also&nbsp;think that it is unhistoric, and has too long of a learning curve for a weekly, as opposed to a daily gamer.&nbsp; I am more sucessfull than I was earlier, but I still think ...

RE: Western Confederate Supply

<t> Folks,<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
It does'nt seems that there was that much trade / supplies comming through to justify much of a change in in the current rules.&nbsp; Even at 100% blockage most of the areas still recieve 1-4 points a turn anyway.&nbsp; This would seem to represent the illegal supply ...

RE: Impressions

<t> Folks,<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Raising Lees mortality , and/or tacking on PP penalties for moving Lee out of Va seems a reasonable way of dealing with that.&nbsp; The Strategic battle idea could get kind of tied down in semantics, but&nbsp; sounds resonable.&nbsp; There should be some sort of ...

RE: Impressions

Heroldje,
&nbsp;
Good points.&nbsp; I usually try the "winning" side first to get the game down.&nbsp; Since I havent won yet with the Union I havent tried as the Confederacy.

Impressions

<r> Folks,<br/>
<br/>
After playing this game for over a month, in my free time, IVe decided that this game still needs work. It is un historic.<br/>
I have a few problems with it.<br/>
<br/>
1) The combat response phase. I've watch untis come from several states away to join a defense. In many ...
